Vacation, sort of

[auntiemeesh]

It's Wednesday evening and I don't have to go back to work until Monday. Four whole days off, three days of work next week and then another four day weekend for Thanksgiving. Sweet!

In order to celebrate my little mini-vacation I stopped at the store on the way home and bought a bottle of wine. I started home with happy visions of getting all cozy with a book and a glass of wine and having such a lovely evening. Then I remembered that I'm taking a corticosteriod for my wrist and am supposed to stay away from alcohol. Boo! Still, one more dose tonight, one tomorrow morning, and then I'm done with it, so I'll be able to enjoy a relaxing drink in a day or two.

I have big plans for tomorrow. Laundry, vacuuming, reorganizing some stuff that's just been sitting around for months. I have to take advantage of the fact that I'm not completely exhausted from a full week of work and get stuff done. Then, a Pens game in the evening.

I have shopping to do on Friday, possibly two trips since one of the things I have to buy is kitty litter (that stuff is heavy!) I desperately need at least one new blanket as well, and maybe some wine glasses (I've been drinking my wine out of a plastic coffee cup ever since I moved).

Saturday I want to dig out the crockpot, find a place to set it, and make some stew. Maybe go for a walk in Highland Park depending on the weather. Other than that, I want to be as lazy as possible on Saturday and Sunday.

Ah, it's a delightful plan. I will probably succeed at the being lazy part. And the Pens game part. Only time will tell if any of the rest of it happens.

i have multiple blankets in the attic if you want one or two. I could bring over on Sat.

Thanks. If I can't find one I like on Friday, I'll let you know. But I've decided to treat myself and buy a new one if I can find something good. I figure one new blanket a decade isn't all that terrible.

Four days off, whooooooooot!

It is a lovely thing to have a few extra days off!

Yay for vacation! Whatever you end up doing, I hope you enjoy your time away from work.

I am definitely enjoying the time away from work. :)

Glad you are getting some time off and that you enjoy the rest of it. FB sounded like you enjoyed the Pens game already.

Yeah, the game was fun and I'm glad I'm not at work. I'm still disappointed about not being able to come out to Philly in the summer, though.

I am sorry you didn't get here also but there is next summer. Hopefully things will be better then.

Hope that the mini-vacation has been successful as a time to get a few "need to do" things done and to get in some well-deserved relaxation!
